A beach on Risa... (Kirk/McCoy)

[dctr_mccoy]

After finishing his conversation with George, Bones remained sitting down, listening to the waves, the birds flying overhead, and the wind blowing softly through the trees. He didn't spot another person, though. They were truly by themselves here

When the transport finished, Kirk took a slow, deep breath. Crimson light from two setting suns curled around him, making him look out over the beautiful ocean. He smiled slowly, feeling a bit of himself relax even if his chest still felt like it was in a vice.

He hunched his shoulder, turning to go find the bedroom, when he caught a beautiful sight. Bones was laid out in a chair, book on his chest, asleep, caught in the last of the sun's rays. Kirk bit his lip, and ducked away only long enough to put his bag in the bedroom before coming back out.

He slowly sat down on the ground beside the chair, just laying his head on Bones' thigh. He didn't want to wake the doctor... Bones just looked to peaceful. Kirk closed his own eyes, ignoring his aching hands, and let himself drift slowly. Not quite asleep... just... resting.

He didn't know how long he'd been asleep, only that the sky had changed color again, the two moons coming into view. Warm pressure on his leg, he cracked an eye and saw Jim sitting there.

Fingers threading through his hair, he watched Jim's face, peaceful now, placid and calm like the water now that the tides had subsided.

If only it could stay that way.

After some length of time, Kirk's eyes very slowly opened. He looked up towards Bones, eyes sleepy and relaxed. A very soft smile touched his lips, "...hey." He whispered.

Bones stared down at Jim for a long moment, his fingers still moving gently. His free hand lifted the book off his body and dropped it on the table next to him.

Pushing himself off the chair, he slid down until he was sitting on the floor next to Jim, wrapping an arm around him.

There were questions to ask, so many things to talk about but those could all wait as he leaned in and gave him a deep, lingering kiss. Right now, he needed this, needed to feel Jim's mouth on his, and he suspected Jim might need the same.
